Drazen Urch 90e9e3cff8 Domain fronting integration (#5974)
* feat: unify HTTP client creation and enable domain fronting

Enhanced the base nym_http_api_client to reduce fragmentation and enable domain fronting:

- Added SerializationFormat enum for explicit JSON/bincode choice (no auto-detection)
- Added from_network() method to create clients from NymNetworkDetails with domain fronting
- Added with_bincode() builder method for explicit serialization configuration
- Set Accept header based on serialization preference
- Added deprecation paths for NymApiClient wrapper and nym_api::Client re-export
- Enabled domain fronting support via network defaults feature

This is part of a broader effort to consolidate HTTP client implementations across the codebase,
reducing ~500 lines of wrapper code and providing automatic domain fronting for censorship resistance.

* feat: migrate NymApiClient usage to unified HTTP client

- Wire up domain fronting configuration in NymNetworkDetails
- Implement NymApiClientExt trait for base nym_http_api_client::Client
- Migrate direct NymApiClient usage in multiple components:
  - nym-network-monitor
  - verloc measurements
  - connection tester
  - coconut/ecash client
  - validator rewarder
- Add Copy derive to ApiUrlConst to enable iteration
- Update error handling and Display implementations

This enables automatic domain fronting for all Nym API calls via the configured CDN front hosts.

* fix: resolve all compilation errors after NymApiClient migration

- Add missing nym-http-api-client dependencies to multiple crates
- Add NymApiClientExt trait imports where needed
- Fix type mismatches from NymApiClient to unified Client
- Add error conversions for NymAPIError in various error enums
- Implement missing trait methods (get_current_rewarded_set, get_all_basic_nodes_with_metadata, get_all_described_nodes)
- Fix type conversions for RewardedSetResponse in network monitor
- Update all API client instantiation to use new unified HTTP client

* feat: complete migration to unified HTTP client and fix all compilation errors

- Added missing NymApiClientExt trait methods (get_all_expanded_nodes, change_base_urls)
- Fixed all compilation errors across the workspace
- Updated nym-node to use unified client instead of deprecated NymApiClient
- Fixed type conversions for RewardedSetResponse → EpochRewardedSet
- Added nym-http-api-client dependency where needed
- Updated all examples and documentation to use new client API

* fix: provide all API URLs for automatic failover in endpoint rotation

Previously, when rotating API endpoints, only a single URL was provided to the
HTTP client, defeating the purpose of having multiple URLs for resilience.

Changes:
- NymApiTopologyProvider now provides all URLs in rotated order when switching endpoints
- NymApisClient similarly provides all URLs starting from the working endpoint
- Added clarifying comments for broadcast/exhaustive query methods where single URLs are intentionally used
- This enables the HTTP client's built-in failover mechanism while maintaining endpoint rotation behavior

The fix ensures that if the primary endpoint fails, the client can automatically
failover to alternative endpoints without manual intervention, improving overall
network resilience.

* Update common/client-core/src/client/base_client/mod.rs

* Remove error generics, address PR comments

* Explicit warning on missing fronting configuration

* Assorted CI fixes

* Registry proc-macro

* Rename macro

* Syn workspace version

* Where do we need to put inventory

* Ergonomics and call sites, incept the builder

* fix: Address critical issues in client configuration registry implementation

- Fixed HeaderMapInit parsing bug that would cause compilation errors
- Added comprehensive documentation with usage examples and DSL reference
- Improved error handling with better error messages for invalid headers
- Added test coverage for both macro and registry functionality
- Added debug inspection capabilities for registered configurations
- Fixed module name conflicts in tests by using separate modules

All tests now passing:
- 7 macro tests validating DSL parsing and code generation
- 4 registry tests verifying configuration collection and application

* Use default value for the ports until api is deployed

* Feature/improved http error (#6025)

* use display impl for urls

* feat: attempt to add more details to reqwest errors

* temporarily restored GenericRequestFailure variant

* another restoration

* cleanup

* Some debug tooling, and default timeout fix

* Fix user-agent override

* Fix various wasm things

The Nym Privacy Platform

The platform is composed of multiple Rust crates. Top-level executable binary crates include:

  • nym-node - a tool for running a node within the Nym network. Nym Nodes containing functionality such as mixnode, entry-gateway and exit-gateway are fundamental components of Nym Mixnet architecture. Nym Nodes are ran by decentralised node operators. Read more about nym-node in Operators Guide documentation. Network functionality of nym-node (labeled with --mode flag) can be:
    • mixnode - shuffles Sphinx packets together to provide privacy against network-level attackers.
    • gateway - acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages, which removes the need for direct delivery to potentially offline or firewalled devices. Gateways can be further categorized as entry-gateway and exit-gateway. The latter has an extra embedded IP packet router and Network requester to route data to the internet.
  • nym-client - an executable which you can build into your own applications. Use it for interacting with Nym nodes.
  • nym-socks5-client - a Socks5 proxy you can run on your machine and use with existing applications.
  • nym-explorer - a (projected) block explorer and (existing) mixnet viewer.
  • nym-wallet - a desktop wallet implemented using the Tauri) framework.
  • nym-cli - a tool for interacting with the network from the CLI.

Tokenomics & Rewards

Nym network economic incentives, operator and validator rewards, and scalability of the network are determined according to the principles laid out in the section 6 of Nym Whitepaper. Initial reward pool is set to 250 million Nym, making the circulating supply 750 million Nym.

This is a monorepo and components that make up Nym as a system are licensed individually, so for accurate information, please check individual files.

As a general approach, licensing is as follows this pattern:

  • applications and binaries are GPLv3
  • libraries and components are Apache 2.0 or MIT
  • documentation is Apache 2.0 or CC0-1.0
